Welcome to the homepage of our lab. The group was established in October 2011 at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Germany, led by Prof. Dr. Wolfram Pernice within the framework of the Emmy-Noether Programm (DFG funded). Research in the group is focused on the use of nano-photonics and nano-mechanics to realize novel functionality of integrated optical chips. Have a look at some of our recent work at the research pages.
Our paper on photonic memories appears in Nature Photonics, hits news.
Nico's contribution to atom clad waveguides in collaboration with R. Löw and T. Pfau at Uni Stuttgart appears on the cover of APL. Read the paper >>
